Author Bio:
1955 turned out to be one of the great classic years for ruby port and was the same year that Douglas Roberts was born, albeit in the chilly climes of London during December. His mother used to take delight in reminding all and sundry that it really was the longest night of the year; not just for her but also for the rest of the inhabitants of the northern hemisphere. His father was a sanguine man whose ethos of ‘work hard, play hard’ in that order, purportedly celebrated the birth of his only child by buying drinks for the entire rugby club; while Douglas was still wet behind the ears.
